We’re currently in a technological era where we have a large variety of computing endpoints at our disposal like containers, Platform as a Service (PaaS), serverless, virtual machines, APIs, etc. We went from managing five EC2 instances in 2011 to around 1,000 in 2017. with more being added continually.

I've suggested adding a command to docker to make listing at least the top-level PIDs in containers easier. ## Virtual Machines The two main technologies on Linux are Xen and KVM (and there's Bhyve for BSD). What happens if processes really do try to populate all that virtual memory?

As we began growing the AWS business, we realized that external customers might find our Dynamo database just as useful as we found it within Amazon.com.

So much so, that in March 2017, we announced Amazon Connect, which is the result of nearly ten years of work to build cloud-based contact centers at scale to power customer service for more than 50 Amazon teams and subsidiaries, including Amazon.com, Zappos, and Audible. AI has incredible potential in this area.

At re:Invent 2017, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced Amazon Time Sync Service which provides a highly accurate and reliable global time reference. This service is immediately available in all AWS regions. With the launch of Amazon Time Sync Service, AWS regions are equipped with similar GPS and atomic clocks.

With Percona, you can also have on-demand or round-the-clock expert support and services for MongoDB regardless of whether your infrastructure is on-premises, in the cloud, or in a DBaaS, bare metal, virtualized, or containerized environment. Is MongoDB free for commercial use?
